The Naturist Talks: Andy from the USA

As you may have read in the very first post of this blog, one of the main reasons why we started this project is to show the world that naturists are not some strange dark commune but that actually everyone could be one… Or could enjoy being one if they took the first step.   Our main example of “everyone” is of course ourselves, we write posts about naturism in general but also about our own … Read more

How to Handle Awkward Situations when You’re Naked

Whenever you’re trying something new, awkward moments are almost inevitable. Of course, it had to be you who farted during that first yoga class. It was you who stepped on the salsa teacher’s toes not once, not twice, but three times during a 4-minute song. Not to mention that hiking trip in Spain when you wanted to ask the gorgeous guide to help untangle your rope and said with a big smile “Quíta la ropa, … Read more

Why we didn't go to the Zipolite Nudist Festival

Why we didn’t go to the Zipolite Nudist Festival

In a matter of little more than a decade, Zipolite has grown from a sleepy hippy village with a nude beach to a mythical destination that appears on the bucket lists of more and more clothes-free travellers around the world. “Did someone say Cap d’Agde? That’s sooooo 2010… Zipolite is the new naked hot spot!”.   The popularity of Zipolite has a lot to do with its yearly Nudist Festival, which started back in 2016 … Read more

Rotota Naturist Club in Waikato, New Zealand

Review: Rotota Naturist Club in Waikato, New Zealand

It’s interesting how naturist clubs around the world have a lot of similarities. Obviously, you’ll find naked people in all of them, but there will also be a central building (often called the clubhouse), there will be some sports facilities, there will be events and social gatherings and most often there will be lots of greenery as well.   Yet, every naturist club is different. Some are very tranquil places where peace and quietness are … Read more

Naturist Talks: Sam and Aleah from the USA - Our Natural Blog

The Naturist Talks: Sam and Aleah from the USA

Naturism is a wonderful lifestyle that we try to enjoy as much as possible. In as many places as possible. Most of the time we share our own views on the different aspects of nudism but once in a while we like to pass the mic to hear about how someone else’s experiences. Via this Naturist Talks interview series, we listen to naturists from all over the world. They share their experiences, tips and stories … Read more

24 hours naked in Paris

24 Hours naked in Paris

We love city tripping. A couple of days away exploring a different culture, tasting different foods and watching life from a terrace with some craft beers or local wines… Who doesn’t like that? Some time ago, these kinds of vacations were hard to combine with a nakation. But nowadays the cities start to see the advantages of also providing options for the naturist traveller who wants just that little bit more. Paris, which happens to … Read more

Samonatura in south Alentejo, Portugal: Review

Review: Samonatura in south Alentejo, Portugal

Our visit to Samonatura, in the very south of Portugal’s Alentejo region, had quite some emotional value. Not only would this be our last stop in the country, the moment when we would leave Samonatura would also be the end of our huge nude European road trip. Well, all good things have to come to an end eventually and as soon as we walked into Samonatura we knew that we couldn’t have picked a better … Read more

Costa Natura in Estepona, Spain

Costa Natura in Estepona, Spain: Revisited

The first time we visited Costa Natura was in the middle of wintertime. It was a lovely experience but overall we kinda missed a more vibrant vibe. So we promised ourselves that the next time we would visit would be in spring or summer.   We remembered this promise a few days after we booked again at Costa Natura. Again in the middle of winter. This time, however, it would be our New Year’s Eve … Read more

The clothing optional beach in Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico is perfect for all nudists and naturists

Getting naked in Zipolite, Mexico

Oh, Zipolite… From the moment our toes touched the warm sand on your nude beach we knew that we were going to like this place. A lot!   Initially, we had planned to stay about 10 days in town, after busy California and rushing through central Mexico we felt that we needed a couple of days off. To relax on a laid back beach, have some beers, let the days pass by, and catch up … Read more

Dragonfly Naturist Village in Pattaya, Thailand

Review: Dragonfly Naturist Village in Pattaya, Thailand

After travelling around the world for almost 6 years now, we think that we got quite a good idea of what the naturist market has to offer. And maybe more importantly, we’re starting to see interesting trends. In previous blog posts, we’ve already mentioned the uprise of luxury naturism, and we often say that today, you can find everything in the naturist tourism world that you can also find in clothed tourism. But that is … Read more
